Amazing how close OSU and MSU were statistically in 2014

I give a SLIGHT nod to OSU's strength of schedule since they played Wiconsin, Oregon and Alabama in playoff games, but they had a cake Big Ten schedule (just like this years). That said, this is how MSU's and OSU's stats and conference rankings, compared at the 2014 seasons end.

Average pointes per game - MSU 43 (2), OSU 44.8 (1)
Scoring D - MSU 21.5 (3), OSU 22.0 (4)
Total O per game - MSU 500.8 (2), OSU 511.6 (1)
Total D per game - MSU 315.8 (4), OSU 342.4 (5)
Rush O per game - MSU 235.2 (5), OSU 264.5 (2)
Rush D per game - MSU 88.5 (1), OSU 141.3 (5)
Pass O per game - MSU 265.6 (1), OSU 247.1 (3)
Pass D per game - MSU 227.3 (11), OSU 201.1 (6)
Sacks by - MSU 42 (2), OSU 45 (1). OSU did play two more games.
Sacks against - MSU 11 (1), OSU 28 (5)
1st downs per game - MSU 24.7 (2), OSU 25.7 (1)
Opponents 1st downs per game - MSU 15.3 (3), OSU 18.9 (T6)

Opponents 3rd down conversions - MSU 31.3% (4), OSU 34.4% (5)

Opponents penalty yards per game - 44.7 (11), OSU 45.7 (10)
Time of possession - MSU 35:21 (1), OSU 31:30 (3)
Turnover margin - MSU +19 (1st, duh), OSU +7 (3). Think about that stat for awhile.
Red zone O - MSU 7th, OSU 8th
Red zone D - MSU 9th, OSU 8th.

Pretty remarkable how the two teams were damn equal over a 13+ game season in most statistical categories.
